Maybe it does seem a bit ambitious... but I think we can do it. Especially if I set it up Saturday night...I think some picks could be made sunday night.
And if you take a look at the Dobber Baseball League:
2017 DobberBaseball League Draft
We made it through 9.5 rounds of 10 teams picking so that is 95 picks made in 3 days.
so if we had 8 teams making 12 picks that is 96 picks... so I think it can be done. And most of the guys in this draft are guys that were in the baseball league draft, and baseball is always tougher to draft than a playoff draft because here you only have to decide between goalie and skater, not 9 positions and 2 pitchers. haha
Honestly I'm not hugely on board for a fantrax draft, but I can be around decently often for an offline draft.

(No I don't have a hockey problem...)
Yup, that is what we are going to do
I am thinking I will wait until Saturday and see if we can get another couple guys signed up. Then on Sunday I will email out the draft order using fftoolbox and then set up the thread and we can start whenever the 1st pick person is ready.
Bumping for the night-time crew of Dobber community!
Just an update...
I am going to wait until Saturday to see if anyone else signs up.
Then I am going to use the draft order generator with everyone's emails to set the draft order. Then I will create a thread for the draft... and people can start picking whenever they are ready.
Lets try to get it done before the playoffs start on Wed!
I feel like the Braves when they had both Upton Brothers.... Strikeout, after strikeout, after strikeout. haha
yeah i think more people will join the pools once the match ups are set and you can make a guess who will meet in the conference finals ect.
Bump!
I will be sending out draft order and setting up the thread tomorrow.
The Dobber Baseball League was my first draft and I absolutely loved it. Went very smoothly and gave you the extra time to set up a large queue. It also went a lot faster than expected. I probably wouldn't have joined this playoff pool if it was run on Fantrax. I don't see what everyone loves about it, Yahoo is way better in my opinion. I was in a one year hockey league in Fantrax and I had a great draft, completely dominated the entire regular season but still couldn't get into it because I hated the way add/drops and the layout is. Barely made any roster moves throughout the regular season because of it, though I guess I didn't need to make many moves. Needless to say, I am done with Fantrax for good and totally on board with any Dobber slow draft haha.
